Markup Reference

'Markup' is a simple way to create web page content. Starting with plain text, you can add styles like bold or italic and create full featured pages with pictures and links to other pages.

Basic rules

Any text you type in the edit window and save will show on your page.

Leave a blank line (like that above) to start a new paragraph. Line breaks are ignored and all text within a block is treated as a paragraph.

You can add style and features to your page using markups. All markups are denoted by square brackets [ ] with a special character immediately inside these. For example [/show in italics/] will show as show in italics. Some 'special' markups use double square braclets [[ ]].

Markup works between start and end points - so remember to close the brackets or the markup will continue to the end of your document!
